don't really mind the basketball tats too much...I have 1 or two that people would probably find stupid too.

As for the hella...I've been saying it for as long as I can remember...almost 20years.

It's definitely a northern california thing...been to LA numerous times...and nobody says it. They automatically knew I was from here just cause I use it.

People in other states know it too...went to Wisconsin and they said you from the bay area huh? How do you know? Cause you say hella alot!

why aren't any baseball players tatted? besides dude who was killin it in the HR derby last year it seems like none of them get tattoos. but i dont really watch much baseball. i know eric chavez has a little tattoo on his arm but nothing really noticeable
I'm pretty sure there's tons of tatted up baseball players. You just can't tell because they wear a thing called sleeves.


And why the Gwen hate god dammit? lol

Hmmmm....i heard a different story from a So Cal head..old school skate boarder/surfer who told me that word has been around since the early 80's maybe the late 70's in So Cal that was around the punk rock crowd.
yeah, its been a prevalent term in Punk Rock culture since I started listening to the stuff in around 98', but probably long before I got into the scene. I think I actually read the term in a NOFX cd booklet a few years back. I always just figured it as another word that accentuates or emphasizes statement.

Whatever stupid fucking people that guy quoted off Wikipedia are crackpots who stumbled across this term and thought "we need to write a few intelligent paragraphs dictating for certain the etiology of this term amongst the peoples who use it in their every day language!!!"

In all reality I'm sure its just a Cali thing that spread out, especially after the South Park episode.

Search the etiology or origins of all kinds of slang words and Im sure you'll get all kinds of people with PhD's who are culturally ignorant trying to over complicate simple words.

mad kinds? why are they mad? did you upset them by using the word hella?


and why are you using NY slang if you're from the valley? you're trying to clown people for using hella but you say mad and you're from cali, that shit is absurd to me.

"why are they mad cuz you upset them?" that's corny man come on you're better that. or maybe not. it's absurd to you good for you. i'd rather be clowned for being from the valley and saying "mad" than being a grown ass man saying some fag sounding shit like "hella" but anyways back to the topic at hand and looking at men's bodies for b-balls.
